scipy.spatial.distance.kulsinski

scipy.spatial.distance.kulsinski(u, v)

Computes the Kulsinski dissimilarity between two boolean 1-D arrays.

The Kulsinski dissimilarity between two boolean 1-D arrays u and v, is defined as

\[\frac{c_{TF} + c_{FT} - c_{TT} + n} {c_{FT} + c_{TF} + n}\]

where \(c_{ij}\) is the number of occurrences of \(\mathtt{u[k]} = i\) and \(\mathtt{v[k]} = j\) for \(k < n\).

Parameters:

u : (N,) array_like, bool

Input array.

v : (N,) array_like, bool

Input array.

Returns:

kulsinski : double

The Kulsinski distance between vectors u and v.
